Do you use the site for information only or also as a community to make friends in?

Curiosity here. But how do you use this site? Are you here just to get medical information and opinions or as a place where maybe you could find somebody a bit like you so that maybe you could feel your not alone anymore. I'm torn. On one hand I feel this is a great site to get medical information and opinions from so I don't want to bother anyone or make them feel "stalked" because I feel so needy at time. On the other hand I think what a great place to make meaningful relationships based upon understanding if we are being truthful about the information we share here.

So at this point in reference I have not used that capability. I think I am afraid of being hurt because I know I'm the overemotional one in the family by someone's opinion of the questions or answers that I provide.

I believe we can do both on this site.its mostly medical questions but at the same time you can talk to someone and ask a private question or if you just need to talk you can become friends with someone and go from there.my name is kelly so if you need to talk just go to where it says private question and i can respond.hope this helps
